As well as that, two community events will also go live, events that the Gears community should be very familiar with…

One Shot, One Kill, the ultimate fan-favorite special event with a new Gears of War 4 This sniping-focused mode spawns you only with a Longshot – but now the EMBAR is available for pickup on the battlefield to change the game. Now is the time to go for those collateral headshots!

Gnashers-Only King Of The Hill returns to Gears of War, bringing with it a gib-filled carnage of objective-driven, close-quarters combat. Your trusty Gnasher is your only friend as you battle to control the hill.

Last but not least, The Coalition are also making some changes to the card packs prices, unlocks and XP gain in multiplayer on Gears of War 4. Going forward, losing match credit payout will be much closer to winning match payouts. Sometimes you just have one of those nights where you can’t win, and The Coalition want you to be able to look forward to still unlocking card packs at a decent rate.

Bounties will vary in their challenges too, meaning much harder challenges will pay out more XP, while easier challenges will still offer a decent payout making them worth trying to accomplish.

Another great change is that even Horde Boosters and Versus Boosters will begin to unlock customization items. Previously, you had to buy a 1,000 credit Operations Pack or a whopping 3,500 Elite Pack to get gun and character skins, but now the lowly 400 credit packs will offer some emblems, skins and whatnot.

Versus Boosters now contain one guaranteed customization item and four Bounties. One Bounty has a chance to be a second customization item.

Horde Boosters now contain one guaranteed customization item, four Horde Skills and a chance for a Horde Skill to be a Horde Bounty
